Utility-scale solar power

Simplify grid connectivity while meeting sustainability and regulatory requirements with help from our product, service and support teams. 

Comply with energy regulations while ensuring grid stability

Providing safe, reliable and affordable energy is no longer enough. Now utilities must navigate changing regulations to design and update systems to meet mandated distributed energy sources (DER) integration goals, as well as support economic development and job creation initiatives. The challenges that come with the changing power landscape are putting a strain on the current utility business model. But as the global shift towards the use of distributed energy resources moves forward, solar has become more cost-competitive and offers significant benefits for utilities to decarbonise and better manage bi-directional energy flow. 

Optimising utility-scale solar operations today and for the future

Grid connectivity, energy storage requirements and the need for more robust cybersecurity measures mean that utility-scale solar projects are becoming more complex. With more than 100 years of power management expertise, we can help you to navigate changes in regulations to future-proof your grid infrastructure, maximise your uptime and energy production, and optimise energy storage all while protecting your investment, people and the environment. From AC recombiners and medium-voltage transformers to grid-connection switchgear and cable management systems, we provide a complete balance-of-electrical-system solution from panel to grid.

800Vac Solar Recombiner Switchboard 3D experience

The 800Vac recombiner switchboard offering provides a solution to meet the large-scale commercial and utility sized solar project requirements by integrating fuse protection and disconnect all within one enclosure. Chrome or Firefox browser is required to launch the experience. Screen resolutions with a 16:9 aspect ratio (example 1920x1080) are needed for full-screen interaction.
